Some people have funny-shaped heads and have trouble finding sunglasses that fit well. What glasses-makers need is a easily-moldable frame that your local rep. wraps around your face. From that frame, a permanent plastic frame for the sunglasses is derived that should fit the individual wearer perfectly. Based on what seems to sell, price doesn't seem to be a major factor for a lot of people.

I guess a high-tech version would be to take all the measurements with some sort of scan, and have a C&C machine produce the frame. But it seems like using a real form would be better.

       Organisations for the visually handicapped have, in their shops, a surprisingly fashionable and varied range of anti-glare-wear, not only in stock, but made to order.
